Game 9107585
This game: David Tebb vs. kbear1k seems to be an example of psychological defeat. The game is equal in material and kbear1k could have played on with 42...Nd3 and 43...Ne5 but he resigned because he was psychologically not up to the fight.

If you think you are so good why don't you setup the position and continue the game vs. Mr. Tebb. When you truly understand the game you will realize why black was positionally lost in so many ways. Why don't you try and find where black went wrong...and why.

I was over 1500 within a year of playing OTB chess over thirty years ago. I have no idea how a 1500 OTB player can obtain a rating of your rank on this site - the Lord works in mysterious ways...indeed.

You are a fish - pure and simple. Wait, my daughter loves fish - so you must be something lower on the evolutionary scale. Go play Mr. Tebb in that position - you probably can't see how positionally black is crushed. In fact black has been in a bad way for a long time - I was just looking for my opponent to reach a little too far in some instances.

White-1345 Wins
Draws-147
Black-17 Wins
Statistically, white will win 89.13% of the possible variations, draw 9.74% and lose 1.13%. I would call that a lost position for black.
P.S. for those of who who are unfamiliar with Monte Carlo-you start with any position, and then let it analyze. Rybka, the engine it interfaces with, then plays games against itself starting from that position, and it stores the information in tree form. The stats given above show out of 1509 games played, white will win 1345 etc. Hope this helps clear the software up to those who are unfamiliar.

Anyway, here's my reply to your PM
Without copying-pasting a PM, you wondered why a legitimately strong player would bother using an engine.
Titled players banned for engine use:

Loal Davis - banned from chess.com NM
and those are the ones I know off the top of my head. I'm sure there are plenty others...

Originally posted by ZygalskiI don't think this is a conversation for the forum. Though i will say that we never had proof that any of those players were the people they claimed to be. Guess that goes for anyone else on here too. That all said, i still remain unconvinced. I do wonder why you sent me all this. Axe to grind perhaps?

EDIT: Personally i feel more emphasis should be put on players matching engine moves in positions that are evaluated to 0.00 (or very close). Human players tend to think out the position where as engines will often start making seemingly random moves that are evaluated +0.005 (for example). In very quiet positions these strange moves can go on for a long time (especially against a strong player). Matching engines in these sorts of circumstances is extremely unlikely...

Not axe to grind at all.
I respect DT, but at the same time, I'm sure I'm not the only one whose eyebrows have been raised.
...
The chess.com titled players get free diamond membership, but they must provide photographic evidence that they are who the say they are. I think the site asks for the passport photo page + an image of their FIDE card.
You can pretty much guarantee they were the accts of those titled players.
Why do some titled players cheat in online chess?
Why do some millionaires shoplift?

You can titled players.

EDIT: Perhaps chess.com checks these things, but RHP doesn't. It's quite possible for people to be imitating strong players from another site, as well is titled players..
